Its also the power of a cheap production that was more an excuse for a bunch of rich people to skip out in covid restrictions so they could take a vacation in Hungary. If it’s a “fix it in post” production and you never bother with the post production it actually ends up pretty cheap.
It feels their entire budget was spent up front and then when it was obvious it was garbage they stopped spending.
I really appreciate that he got a literal America’s Got Talent star from the age of 12 to play the purity virgin.
I’m sure she felt that one in her bones and it’s such a sharp blade I don’t think a lot of people got it stabbing them
Adding more noise does nothing to add insights it just makes it more exhausting to pick a position yourself.
If everything is nuanced then you can more easily give up on caring in a meaningful way because you believe there is no good answer.
It sure was something. I didn’t even hate it just didn’t really find it grounbreaking either and in a time where most movies are just remakes, reboots and resurrected dead franchises that still sell merch…
I’m actually kinda fine with the crazy old man making a passion project about how stupid and vapid people with money are.
It least it kept some jobs alive and supported his industry.
The problem is that there is only 3 actual characters in the whole story and then set decorations. And their characters are basically, white girl, brown girl, and bad dude.
She could be the big baddy just because gender swapping Hollywood
Everyone in here with personal large TVs and surround systems throwing the curve.
Honestly when I was in walking distance to a theater I liked (they served like pizza fries and other meal items for a good price) I went all the time. I was willing to go for movies I was less excited about rather than waiting it out cause giving up 4 hours of my time for an ok movie after driving, trailers and everything else plus cost is definitely less appealing.
I definitely think cost and spare money to spend on nice things other than food is a huge component of this all but I also would just like ease of participating.
Both time and money have felt like very precious resources in these new terrifying gilded ages.
We see the same movie where they ADRed like every other scene and the only thing to get any kind of story payoff is CPR because its solution to a firework to the face?
We have different definitions of bad. That much more ey and effort and that result is bad to me.
Yeah the best ones are just taking advantage of our empathetic neurons to initiate a conversation. The terrifying ones then use that opening to inject their own thoughts on others.
Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.
Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.
You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.
I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.
A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.
TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?
Yeah reddit and Lemmy are just auxiliary troll communities to the OG forums like 4chan.
Same people. Same shitty behaviour just slightly different topics and levels of trolling.
Another member of the Fanning Aristocracy that includes other actresses like Dakota, athletes in baseball and football, sports casters, and the princess of Wales as other members.
Gremlins Goonies and Beetlejuice super late sequels.
I guess Gen X isn’t getting so Ignored now and finally is getting all their sequels.
Are you OK with Keanu Reeves just talking in his own voice for an entire movie while looking like a goth hedgehog version of himself?
Its a level of silly and childish that I think is great. Not smart though, but neither is The Blue Blur.
You have clearly never seen Order of the Black Eagle where a man gets his face run over as a stunt gone wrong. It’s low budget and they weren’t trying.
Idiots will hurt themselves doing stunts for cheap too without the prestige. The “Big” stunts are actually usually safer as they have more people knowing what they are doing.
Maybe we can just still give them the awards for putting their bodies on the line anyways for film making a thing that isn’t going to stop.
The criterion collection includes a series of 1980 Hong Kong horror comedy films that feature slapstick and kungfu that has a guy in a gorilla costume chasing people down a hill, people arguing in animal noises, horny ghosts, and a competition between 2 monks to see who can get their shrine higher on stilts.
Don’t shit on the criterion collection catalogue.
Oh man the N64 graphics popularity seems to be really coming to a head.
I’m not against it but I want the joy of a spyro like game not the graphics.
Yeah, got to go up the line of ancestry I guess to find all his nazi supporting family.
Solid argument 10/10 on the gymnastics routine.
LOL I loved the “on the point” robin hood stealing the life from the rich and giving to the poor.
Its so full of symbols and agreed that it’s gonna be a where’s Waldo hunt for the cult classic fans for years.
